HF Habs: Trade Proposal Thread #88: 2024-25 Season

[Habs Halifax]

Primeau needs to go to Laval and call up Dobes.

Primeau not an NHL goalie.

Dobes will get lit up as well. Primeau is like Lindgren... will take years to know. However, our team D sucks so lets not pretend that the young Dobes won't get lit up in NHL games as well.

I prefer to develop Dobes properly. Let him gain momentum in the AHL and Primeau can remain the back-up to Monty. We are not shooting for the playoffs at this stage so development needs to be the #1 priority still.

If you want a better back-up, just trade Primeau and try to get a vet. I don't think rushing Dobes is a good move.

Im dissapointed we couldnt land Jiricek.. we certainly had the assets. Basically we could have gotten him with: Engstrom + Cgy 1st + 3rd, 4th, 5th.. is that really so hard to let go?

He's not worth it. Our team already lacks speed and you want to give up all those assets for a player who is slower than D.Savard? Two CBJ coaches under two CBJ regimes wouldn't use him because NHL pace is too fast for him. Not to mention his entitled attitude.

KH has a job ahead of him to bring this winning culture here over the next 5 years
not saying he failed, but he does have work cut out for him

Fact is we don't know what Dobes will do. We do know Primeau is in year 6 of his "development" and has had zero NHL success. He's 25 and at this point, he is what he is. No harm in bringing up Dobes to see what he can do while sending Primeau down for a little conditioning and prop up his confidence which has to be at an all time low.

If not, need to bring in a veteran backup for Monty and demote or move on from Primeau. He's shown he'll never be anything more than a backup, IF that.
